Description: | This species is one of three species of razor shells that can be found in British coastal waters. It lives in offshore waters, in depths of up to 100m. It burrows just beneath the surface of fine sand and filters organic particles out of the seawater. It is a small species, only reaching about 4cm in length. It's long smooth shell allows it to move rapidly through the sand if disturbed. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.invertebratezoology.19782 | Go to resource |
